A summer staple in Utah Valley, the Provo Farmers Market offers a wide variety of fresh produce for purchase in addition to plenty of booths providing interesting and tasty options for as many afternoon meals that your body can handle.

Unlike the Provo Farmers Market, the Salt Lake Farmers Market adapts to the seasons and exists year-round.

Brigham Young University’s very own farmers market, the Stadium Farmers Market is an intimate neighborhood fixture that serves hungry college students as well as cheerful families.

With the mission to encourage consumers not only to think about the food they are eating but also about how that food is sourced and grown, the Cache Valley Gardener’s Market creates a connection between Northern Utah’s residents and its respective farmers.

Also known as the People’s Market, the 9th West Farmers Market is a variation on the more common farmers market in the sense that while it sells local produce and foodstuffs, it also holds various special events throughout the season, including a day where you are encouraged to bring your pets and another day where you can swap books with other Salt Lake City residents.

Another popular farmers market in Utah Valley, this market seeks to provide a medium by which local talent can be shown. Whether this comes through farming, gardening, art-making, crafting, or music, the Happy Valley Farmers Market is most definitely a joyful place.
